I love using Holland House Cooking Wines in my recipes because they enhance every savory dish. Sometimes quick pasta dishes lack flavor, but not when I use Holland House Cooking Wines as part of the pasta cooking liquid! I like using Holland House White Cooking Wine because it adds a layer of flavor to this One Pot Cajun Pasta that’s simply irresistible!

Ingredients
  

FOR PASTA:

  • 1 Tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 14 ozs andouille sausage sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 large shallots minced
  • 1 large green bell pepper
  • 2 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 3 large garlic cloves minced
  • 3 ½ cups stock
  • 1 cup Holland House White Cooking Wine or chicken broth
  • 16 oz. penne pasta
  • 3 large Roma tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ozs Parmesan cheese shredded
  • salt and pepper to taste

FOR GARNISH:

  • chopped sundried tomatoes
  • chopped fresh parsley
  • grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized pot, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until heated through, and edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Place sausage on the paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
  • In same pot, heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add shallots, green bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning, and stir frequently until pepper is softened and edges of onion are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add stock, Holland House White Cooking Wine or chicken broth, pasta, and tomatoes to pot (pasta should almost be covered with liquid – see photo above). Give the mixture a quick stir, and bring to a low boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook pasta until al dente, about 15-18 minutes, stirring often.
  • Uncover and reduce heat to low. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and stir until cheese is melted. Stir in the reserved sausage, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, and then season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sundried tomatoes, parsley, and shaved Parmesan cheese; serve.
